Answer:

The correct option;

136 cubic inches

Explanation:

The dimension of the rectangular flour canister are;

Length = 5 1/2 inches (5.5 inches)

Width = 4 inches

Height = 10 inches

The dimensions of the smaller sugar canister

Length = 3 1/2 inches (3.5 inches)

Width = 3 inches

Height = 8 inches

The volume of a cube is given by the relation;

V = Length × Width × Height

Therefore, we have;

The volume of the rectangular flour canister = 5 1/2 × 4 × 10 = 220 in³

The volume of the rectangular sugar canister = 3 1/2 × 3 × 8 = 84 in³

The difference in volume between the two canisters = 220 in³ - 84 in³ = 136 in³

The difference in volume between the two canisters = 136 in³
